Had too much time on my hands, so looked up a few of these "alternate theories".. Whaddaya think?

Aliens are really just us from the distant future?

Aliens are from a parallel dimension just side by side with us?

Aliens are from a civilization literally under the ground in the depths of the Earth's oceans?

Aliens are just a figment of our imagination?

Aliens are really FAR away.

What we have HERE are some really sweet US Air Force (etc.) Black Projects. Triangles no matter what size or speed are ours.

Oh yeah, and that one too...

Silverheads, black eyes with an upward slope, strange symbol languages...

But those "probings"... more than likely pertain to another issue entirely.

It's funny what happens when someone tells part of a story and someone else interprets it and then someone else...

Read between the lies and look for what's verifiably true. You don't get fairy tales but then again you don't get misled so far either.

Yep...what you get is Sleep Paralysis and Oxygen Deprivation...oh yeah...takes in silly Near death Experience (go to the light) as well. Of course NASA'a tested findings are not publicized...no money in that. Thing is the astronaughts who experienced the Oxygen Deprivation experienced classic NDE and ALL the symptoms. Sleep studies have shown that Sleep Paralysis has exhibited ALL the classic symptoms of AA. But why bother looking up the proper spelling...belief systems requires no cross reference.

The book written by evangelist Billy Graham categorizes ANGELS as extraterrestrials. In EZEKIEL, the first chapter, Ezekiel describes a Wheel flying in the sky, a flying wheel which has passengers. And occasionally, the magazine LADIES HOME JOURNAL includes accounts of modern-day people encountering angels. Since LHJ is a Woman's magazine, I get the impression that it's mostly Women who believe in angels rather than the men who believe. In addition, on the cable channel Home Shopping Network, it's an overwhelming percentage of Women who purchase angel-figurines.

I went and married one. She is real.

Aliens are illegal and from another country...

Aliens are welcome in our country and are mostly legal.

How about remembering being born ? I have a few scientist friends from Berkley and they think it might be the subconscious remembering the birth process......Bright lights ,tubes, getting poked,

In ancient times, "sea-monsters" were the mysterious phenomena. 150 years ago, "fairies" had their run.

H.G. Wells' "War of The Worlds" kick started our collective conscious with the whole Alien notion. Since then, it has been reinforced by Hollywood, by books, and even by our own technological progress.

So I think that like "sea-monsters and "fairies", Aliens are a figment of 20th century culture/thinking.

Aliens evolved to a point where thier mental abilities became strong and thier physical health deteriorated.
Thousands of years ago the life of thier planet was about to end.
The aliens escaped here from thier doomed planet.
During thier exploration of our planet, and thier desire to strengthen thier race, they came across living cells.
After several attempts, using both thier own cells and those cells found, the first creature, a ape like man was created.
It's now thousands of years later.
Generations of physically weak aliens continue living beneath the Earths surfaces and continue experiments on us as well as the other creature of Earth.
Because we carry alien genes, their race, although mixed, continues.

I'll buy that....Jonathan lives it.

good grief jaz...too many cereal boxes in your library.

Aliens are just another youth counter-culture group.

Aliens were made in Boris Karloff's lab on his day off.

Aliens are angels-with-puppy-faces in disguise.

Aliens are Doug Higley creations that the Blue Fairy brought to life, promising to one day make them 'real boys' if they behaved.

Aliens are anyone at my In-Laws family reunion.

Aliens are punctuation gremlin's that the proo-freaders miss.

I don't remember being born, but then I was very small at the time.

Aliens are sewer mutants trying to pass. Because we'll except aliens before we accept sewer mutants.

Aliens might actually be aliens from another star system, but the big eyes and strange looks are a trick. They're "teasers," rich kids without much to do so they find a planet that hasn't made insteller contact yet and "buzz" them. They land next to some yokel that no one's ever going to believe and strut up and down wearing silly antenna and making "beep beep" noises.

All rather childish really!

Aliens! LOL! On my entire trip here from Krypton I didn't see one single alien. But once I moved to El Paso......

...there were plenty.
And it's pronounced Hell Paso for a reason.
My neck of the woods is just as infested. There just isn't a play on words.
It's time to update, "Yankee go home!" with extreme prejudice.

NO, theoretically, Time-Travel is not plausible at all. Because,hypothetically, if you travelled Back through time and somehow prevented your parents from ever meeting in the first place, then you would Never have been born in the first place. And if you were never born, then you could Not have travelled in the first place. This basic principle applies to time travel as a whole, a contradiction that makes time travel totally impossible. So, in comparison, the conclusion of having aliens from outer space is the only believable one.

Orville that's a bit of an old cliche and if you think it through makes no sense either. There would have to be multiple Time Lines for any of it to work AT ALL.
If there were, you could meet your parents and 'off' your dad without concern exept all in that timeline in the family line would not ever exist for ever....but you would. Nothing says you can't be in two places at once. Not even in theory.
You are already 1/2 in the past and 1/2 in the future every second.

The conclusion of Aliens from Outer Space as the only one is also an unnecessary stretch when you have people who are either hallucinating or seeing unknown US aircraft in test phase as an alternate theory.

On the other hand, considering the tremendous age of the rest of the Universe, the likelyhood of another civilization NOT being a million or so years more advanced than us is another stretch. Any group a million or more years in advance of this bunch we belong to would view us as less than microbes and not worth spit.

If you live long enough (and I hope you do) you'll learn saying something is impossible is not exactly an enlightened position considering all the variables you don't know...we don't know. Go back and explain CGI to a bus driver in the 1950's...or better yet, show him Shrek. Then tell him that NONE of it really existed in reality or real time...it was not models...it was nothing but O's and 1's from a 'typwriter' keyboard...Impossible. The only answer could be actual puppets. And you know it WAS Impossible. Then.
